I'm pretty discouraged.
She's a very independent, smart, go-getter type. She has been raised by TBM mom and very un-TBM me.
I made sure she never felt pressured into belief or conformity. She has never "born her testimony", doesn't pay attention in church usually, and is very outspoken for LGBT rights. Her older brother did not go on a mission.
She wants to turn in "her papers" in a couple of months. It's really a shock, and in many ways I feel like I've failed her. She knows I don't believe but doesn't know the specifics of why (since DW and I have an uneasy truce with this).
At this point I'm not sure what to do. Her mind seems set, and I don't want to be a jerk or unsupportive, but I want her to truly know what she is representing before she goes. I can't live with myself if I don't lay it all out for her and let her judge for herself, but it will be seen as sabotage by DW, possibly even by her.
